Club Carlson: Double Points or Double Elite Qualifying Nights on all stays until Dec 30

One of the last major hotel chains to come out with a fourth
quarter/late fall/early winter promotion is Carlson Rezidor Hotels.
Today they launched their systemwide offering and you get to make a
choice: either Double Points or Double Elite Qualifying Nights. Club
Carlson Elite status takes quite a few nights to reach so it may only
make sense to choose that option if you are nearing an elite level and
can get there with a few stays that offer this bonus. Since Club Carlson
Elite Status is relatively easy to come by (status matching or free with The Platinum Card from American Express) it will
probably make sense for more people to opt for double points. This means
you will earn 40 points per dollar spent not including any elite status
bonuses.
